CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 28, 1921.

Application filer! July 1, 1919. Serial No. 307,987.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE R. JAMES, a citizen of the United States,residin at Robson, in the county of Fayette and tate of West Virginia,have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigar and CigaretteHolders, of Which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to means for converting a holder for cigarettesinto a holder for cigars and the principal object of the invention is toprovide an attachment which may be easily and quickly secured to thecigarette holder and so formed as: to accommodate cigars of difierentsizes.

Another object of the invention relates to the means for securing thecigar holder to the cigarette holder.

The invention also consists in certain, other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is a view of the invention in assembled form;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section; and

Fig, 3 is a view of the two parts detached from each other. i p

In these views 1 indicates the cigarette holder which may be made of anysuitable material and of any desired form. This holderis provided withthe usual mouth piece 2 and the flaring end 3 for receiving thecigarette. Adjacent this end a groove 4 is formed around the outercircumference of the holder.

5 indicates the cigar holder which is made of elastic material such asrubber and is of slightly conical form so as to receive the end of thecigar. A ring 6 is formed on the inner end of this cigar holder and ispreferably formed of hard rubber. This ring is adapted to engage withthe groove 4 in the cigarette holder to hold the parts together.

The body of the holder 5 is sufiiciently elastic to receive any sizecigar which may be thrust into its large end. The ring will tightlyengage the groove so as to make an I antight joint and thus notinterfere with the draft of the cigar. When the device is to be used fora cigarette, the holder 5 is slipped off the cigarette holder and may beplaced in the pocket. I prefer to color the holder 5 to make it resemblethe cigarette holder.

What I claim is 2-- A device of the class described comprising acigarette holder having an exterior annular groove adjacent its outerend, a cigar holder made of elastic material and having a ring at itsinner end for engaging said groove for holding the parts together, saidring being formed of less elastic material than the rest of the cigarholder.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

THEODORE R. JAMES.
